Claire Benoist, Photographer, New York

Description

This extreme macro photograph by Claire Benoist captures the fine bristles of a makeup brush against a neutral background. The dense cluster of fibers creates a distinct color gradient, starting with crisp white at the base and transitioning into dark tones near the tips. Small, textured teal and dark green crystalline formations rest along the top edge of the bristles, creating a contrasting landscape-like effect. The shallow depth of field keeps the intricate texture of individual hairs in sharp focus while the lower section softens. Soft, even lighting highlights the tactile quality of the materials.
